Slightly off topic BUT...
They weren't hummies ~ but I got to witness four nesting babies fly away from my back porch last week. They're Pheobies, and I think it's the same couple that comes every year to nest (Pheobies stay together their entire lives). They're so sweet! They both build the nest together and once the babies hatch, they take turns feeding them. The babies are still hanging around nearby, I've come to know their chirps and hear them in the trees.
It's nice having birdies around, they flew from the nest into my tomato garden where they picked out the pesky bugs! Good little birdies!
There's so many birds around here this year that dh is calling me the bird whisperer! LOL Also have swallows nesting under the front porch right now! They actually came into the house and spent the night
but that's a whole other story!!
